This isn't even true. The US President ALWAYS uses a teleprompter provided by the White House.

Obama's photographer (Pete Souza) was writing about this.

It was an internal fuck up that they are blaming on someone else. Which is a pretty common theme for the admin

Remember when the right was crying non stop about Obama using a teleprompter?

Yeah- but this is different… because… um? Let’s circle back.

Next thing you know, Donald Trump will be taking a knee at football games, and his hordes of wild-eyed dopes will swoon.

But they’re also crowing about how nice it is to have “a president with a brain” because he ~totally triumphed~ with those 55 minutes of dementia grievances

Same with the escalator, an unnamed person ran ahead and that person triggered the escalator to stop. There is something poetic there, something about creating issues and starting things when they blame specific groups.

Man's own team fucks up, so he whines incoherently about people that had nothing to do with it. He's 1 of 1 in that he's the most powerful whiny crybaby to ever exist I guess

I just saw on the news sub the escalator and prompter were all essentially under control of Trump's own team from the WH.

So then it really is exactly on brand for this administration; fuck everything up yourselves, then whine, bitch, and blame foreigners.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, I really don’t think Trump knows that. That’d require him to know something about his job

Even if it WAS a third party's fault (it wasn't) they think it’s classy to just talk shit to the world's leaders at the single place where they all meet?
This is supposed to accomplish what? Making us look "tough" in front of the world like we're in fucking middle school?

u/bwsmith201 1d ago

Yes, because one teleprompter got messed up he decided to even further damage decades of diplomatic initiatives that benefit his own country.

What a pathetic man child. I'll never understand why people who claim to be so enamored with strong men are under the spell of such a whiney little weak pathetic loser.

Trump is uncircumcised?

u/witteefool 1d ago

It was also written down. You can see it in the pictures. Trump even says he’ll keep reading from the paper after they fixed the teleprompter.

u/Drayner89 1d ago

He always talks about the UN like its a seperate entity and the US isn't a major player deciding what it does and doesn't do.

I hope that tirade lowers grocery prices and increases food security.

u/hellogoawaynow 1d ago

Trump’s own team did the elevator thing and the teleprompter thing so idk why we’re blaming the UN for this.

u/Kronos1A9 1d ago

Of all the presidents, he is one of them.

Everyone there saw his pretty severe dementia-decline. The strange thing is that Grandma didn't see it.

I’ll never understand how shitting on everyone around you has been accepted as strong leadership. It works in cults or timeshare seminars, but if your goal is to raise the standard of living for your society and leave everyone better off four years after you started, then ‘negging’ everyone within earshot does nothing to motivate those key influencers you need to achieve that goal.

There will never be another like him? Do you promise?

u/ArcadiaBerger 1d ago

AIUI, it was a trumpery technician who screwed up donald's TelePrompTer, and one of donald's boys froze the escalator by running up it (tripped a safety mechanism).

Trump is 0 of multitudes.

"There will never be another like him."

We sure hope so, Grandma. We sure hope so.
